Kabadi,

Welcome to the forum. *welcome* I hear the U.S. is a big place, where abouts are you? I'm way over here in Chicagoland. Looking forward to some pictures. How long have you had your bike and has it ever been running while you were sitting on it?

Welcome  *welcome*, we really like pics here  *yeah*your bike has a lot of money spent on it in the past! There are several expensive upgrade parts already fitted (as you probably know).

Depending on what caused it to be taken off the road it may be quite easy to make it into a very presentable runner.
